New review on working memory and action
Anna, Sven and Martin have published a review on how actions planned and generated during memory maintenance select content in visual memory. Get one of the 50 free copies: https://bit.ly/3c1FZCj. Thanks to Stefan van der Stigchel and Chris Olivers for organizing this special issue!
Deadline extended: Special issue on Trans-saccadic perception in Journal of Vision
The deadline for Journal of Vision's Special Issue accompanying the workshop "From Peripheral to Transsaccadic and Foveal Perception" (which took place in Rauischholzhausen Castle, Germany, August 14th - 16th, 2019) has just been extended to August 1, 2020. Submissions to the special issue are open to anyone in the field (not just participants of the … Continue reading Deadline extended: Special issue on Trans-saccadic perception in Journal of Vision
Busy summer: New papers
The new semester at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin is just around the corner. Time to take a quick look at last summer. There are a number of new papers from the lab. Richard and Martin have published two. If you are interested in an fast algorithm to display gaze-contingent stimuli, then the following paper will be … Continue reading Busy summer: New papers
Special issue on Trans-saccadic perception in Journal of Vision
At Journal of Vision, we have just announced a Special Issue accompanying the workshop "From Peripheral to Transsaccadic and Foveal Perception" (taking place in Rauischholzhausen Castle, Germany, August 14th - 16th, 2019). Submissions to the special issue are open to anyone in the field (not just participants of the workshop) and will be open through … Continue reading Special issue on Trans-saccadic perception in Journal of Vision
New J Neuro paper with Katy Thakkar: Structural thalamo-frontal hypoconnectivity is related to oculomotor corollary discharge dysfunction in schizophrenia
The next chapter of our fruitful collaboration with the amazing Katy Thakkar has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Neuroscience. Katy's talented student Beier Yao took the lead on this one. What this is about? People with schizophrenia sometimes experience abnormalities in a sense of agency, which may stem from abnormal sensory predictions about their own … Continue reading New J Neuro paper with Katy Thakkar: Structural thalamo-frontal hypoconnectivity is related to oculomotor corollary discharge dysfunction in schizophrenia
Now out: Perceptual learning while preparing saccades
Quite some time ago, our paper on perceptual learning during saccade preparation has been accepted for publication in Vision Research. This project started with an idea in 2010, innocently pitched at one of the legendary lunch lab meetings at Patrick Cavanagh's house in Paris. He had just asked me what I'd like to work on … Continue reading Now out: Perceptual learning while preparing saccades
New paper on the relation between motion extrapolation for eye movements and perceived position shifts
We are happy to announce the publication of a new paper in the Journal of Neuroscience. Effective action in the presence of moving stimuli requires a prediction of their motion trajectory. To investigate the link between motion extrapolation for oculomotor programming and the perception of target position, we used the flash-grab effect to induce illusory … Continue reading New paper on the relation between motion extrapolation for eye movements and perceived position shifts
New paper on saccadic selection of visuospatial working memory contents
We are happy to announce that our paper on saccadic selection of visuospatial working memory contents has been published in Consciousness and Cognition. Eye movements help to prioritize information processing in cluttered visual scenes. Specifically, stimuli presented at the future saccade goal are preferentially encoded and maintained in visual short-term memory. In this paper, we … Continue reading New paper on saccadic selection of visuospatial working memory contents
In the press: All is not lost
About three years ago, we have started working on perception during saccadic eye movements — that is, when the eyes are in mid-flight from one point in the scene to the next. Using a quite unique high-speed projection setup that allows us to rapidly (yet smoothly) move stimuli on the screen, we keep finding new … Continue reading In the press: All is not lost
